Services: Retail Development Scheme

Bestway offers everything that a retailer needs to run a smoother, more profitable business. Every Bestway retail customer can enter its annual Retail Development Awards programme which includes the Retail Development Seminars and workshops, held in Scotland, North and South of England. These seminars offer customers the opportunity to listen and learn from presentations given by suppliers and from Bestway’s retail development team offering advice on everything from key consumer trends to the latest EPoS systems.

Customers go away from these seminars with the information and knowledge of how to move their businesses forward and can be assured of assistance from Bestway’s retail development team to help put this knowledge into practice. These customers are then in the running for the Bestway Retail Development Awards.

They are judged on how they have improved their consumer offering and grown their businesses significantly through progressive, targeted retailing. The awards have a prize fund of £43,000 cash.

Xtra Local

Xtra Local is a major initiative which was launched by Batleys in October 2005. It is a retailer scheme which offers customers exclusive member deals running over a three weekly promotional period. The promotions are across key branded products covering licenced and general grocery, soft drinks and confectionery. Promotional activity is backed by many key suppliers including Cadbury Trebor Bassett, Nestlé, Walkers, Müller, Heineken UK, Molson Coors plus many top suppliers within the industry.

With this in mind retailers can be assured that all future activity will focus on delivering great value to consumers and strong promotional cash margins for the Independent Retailer. The customer benefits from a five week buying in period across these deeper cut exclusive member deals. The products are offered on a sale or return basis and the customer needs to buy into all the deals advertised on the leaflet to participate. Customers receive FREE POS kits including personalised promotion leaflets to distribute to their customers, order form featuring promoted products, A3 window bills and full colour shelf edge labels. Members are given help and support from their local depot and participating suppliers.

The scheme was trialled in five depots and having been proved a success was rolled out to all 18 Batleys depots in February 2006.

Services: Store Development Planograms

The planogram is no more than a graphic map showing what products to place where on the shelves.

With this you can:

• Maximize profit per centimetre of shelf space by analysing inventory data whilst retaining tight control over which products go where and in what quantity.
• Appeal to customers by displaying products attractively, and by giving prominence to brands that the customer knows and also by giving prominence to hot spot displays featuring advertised products.
• Reduce operational costs and improve compliance by producing simple merchandising instructions including layout, pricing and promotion that can be quickly and effectively communicated and actioned in store.

In short, planograms can deliver a visual statement of expertise to your customer and optimize the use of space to maximize profitability.

If we could show you a way to increase your sales by up to 95% and your profits by up to 80% would you be interested? If the Answer is Yes then you have found the right site for you.
